So, this is what happens when you are fasting but you still have to cook supper. You find a new recipe for chicken that sounds good and you make it.<\/p>\n

And the suppertime conversation goes like this:<\/p>\n

Hubby: What is<\/em> this?<\/p>\n

Me: It\u2019s a new recipe. It sounded good.<\/p>\n

Buster: Mom\u2026you\u2019re fasting. Everything sounds good to you right now.<\/p>\n

Me: It\u2019s not good?<\/p>\n

Hubby: Um\u2026no. Not really. It\u2019s okay\u2026but\u2026please don\u2019t ever make this again. Ever.<\/p>\n

Buster: I hate to say it, but this kinda sucks.<\/p>\n

Me: It smells<\/em> good!<\/p>\n

Buster: EVERYTHING smells good when you\u2019re fasting!<\/p>\n

Hubby: Next time you\u2019re fasting, just order in, okay? I would have been fine with pizza.<\/p>\n

Upon hearing the word Pizza, the dog\u2019s ears perked up and my stomach gave a giant kick.<\/p>\n
